1 As Daddy’s devoted 深爱的and only daughter, I noticed things about him that my two brothers never mentioned or may have taken for granted. Two things in particular made Daddy more wonderful, interesting and capable than all the other fathers I’d ever seen or heard of — Daddy’s large, sensitive hands.

Father’s hands
2 Daddy had long, nimble 灵巧的fingers that could thread the smallest needle in order to mend the my dress. They could carefully trim the nails of tiny fingers and toes. Unlike Mama, Daddy could tie straight sashes on my party dresses. Those same fingers had a magical way of playing the guitar, making my nursery tunes 儿歌 the most beautiful music I ever heard.

3 Daddy’s inventive hands were also strong and useful, wonderfully tanned from working in the sun, and a bit callused 起茧的 . There was no unfamiliar thing to Daddy’s hands. They could make a delicious and colorful meal in minutes. And I loved to watch in wonder as his skillful hands worked.

4 Daddy’s hands could send a message as they tenderly touched a fevered brow or mended a broken doll. They seemed to speak, to understand unspoken pain and emotional hurt when I found no way to tell.

5 Yes, these were the hands of my father. They tenderly, untiringly cared for his children and my mother through her many long illnesses right up until her death. When I was sick, Daddy would take a small blanket, warm it in front of the fireplace and wrap it around my small, cold feet with his hands of love. It was obvious to me even then that no mother’s hands could have done better.

6 I can also well remember the old, familiar songs that Daddy sang, as his hands patted me. I would hold one of Daddy’s large hands studying the lines of his hand, feeling its hard spots with pride. Daddy’s nails were always trimmed, although he had a scar 伤疤 in his left thumbnail. This was special and made me love him more because he was building my dollhouse when he acquired the injury. My father’s hands were perfect in my little-girl eyes. They had the strength and power to move mountains. They made the impossible possible!

7 Years later, in a small hospital room as Daddy lay near death, too weak to speak out loud, I sat tearfully at his bedside. But, holding his hands, I smiled, recalling all those happy, important and unforgettable years of shared experiences. Once again feeling every line, every callus and scar, I was amazed at the experience of love that father’s hands had brought. I lifted them, placing the tired, now pale hands against my face. How warm they were even now, just as in my treasured childhood! I kissed each brown spot in the hands of the 83-year-old man. To me they were beauty marks instead, standing for a job well done. I could no longer hold back the tears filling my eyes.

7 For a moment, Daddy opened his eyes as if to speak. I leaned over close to him. With a weak, concerned smile of love, his trembling fingers reached up to gently touch my brow, stopping briefly to wipe away the tears now running down the cheeks of his “little girl.” And time stood still. Then Daddy closed his eyes and, sighing one final breath, died quiet.
